3.0 out of 5 stars Strangely compelling but not really good sci-fi, 4 Mar 2007
By Cees Jan Mol (Eindhoven Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
You've been stranded in space, locked up and kept in stasis in a rescue pod. Then there's a fleet, picks you up, welcomes you on board as a legendary hero. Obviously someone didn't keep his mouth shut when they left you to die in defense of their retreat... But had they known you would have survived, they might not have mythologized you quite so much. Anyway... All command officers are executed by the enemy and you have to sort it out.

This is the second book. In the previous one, you save your fleet from annihilation. In this one, you start pounding away at the enemy.

What is rather strange is that it's quite difficult to stop reading. It's not written terribly well. There's too many long monologues. There's not quite enough actions. The space battles sometimes makes you think of the early books of R.A. Salvatore, losing himself in descriptions of fights of which you knew they wouldn't end with the death of the hero. There's not much psychological development of the main character (or actually, of any of the other characters). There's a little too much omnipotence of Jack Geary (obviously, because the author Jack Campbell sees himself as a Jack Geary in real life).

So. This story is really a tale of morals on why the military has the rules it has (discipline, order, military justice etc. etc.). The enemy is the bad guys mainly characterized by the fact that they aren't good military (i.e. don't have any honor, mistreat prisoners etc. etc.).

And yet... It's not really bad either. And quite difficult to stop reading. I think I'll have to buy the 3rd book in this series as well.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight but readable, 25 July 2007
By Christopher Roberts (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As reviews for the earlier book the writing though simplistic does draw you along. Sometimes I feel in the mood for an action film, in the same way a book like this can be a fun read. Do not try to analyse how the ships work just enjoy the ride.

One of the plot elements is expanded upon and just might start to explain why the war has lasted so long and why technology does not seem to have moved on much in a century. The love interest was predictable though not as in a review of the first book.

I will probably buy the next one, they are cheap enough after all.

3.0 out of 5 stars Why Jack Campbell?, 30 Jun 2007
By Norman Robb (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Cees Jan Mol's review below is spot on. The story line is good, but then you would expect this of any tale based (even loosely) on the Retreat of the Ten Thousand. However, the writing itself is strangely immature and I had a real stuggle with myself in justifying the puchase of book 2 after reading the first book. The story though is compelling and no doubt I will purchase book 3 to follow the fleet's fate. So mabye John G. Hemry (writing under the pseudonym of John Campbell) knows what he is doing afterall. One question remains, given Mr Hemry's reputation in the field of military science fiction, why the pseudonym?
